The world’s first master’s degree in reparatory justice has been launched by Glasgow University, in partnership with the University of the West Indies (UWI), as the global campaign for financial reparations for transatlantic slavery gathers momentum.

Glasgow is one of a number of universities to have researched the extent to which they were funded by or supported slavery.
